OSEP October National TA Call: This presentation focused on IDEA’s discipline requirements, as well as the longstanding practices that have resulted in high rates of exclusionary discipline for children with disabilities, particularly children with disabilities of color. Through the discipline guidance package, OSEP seeks to shift from an overreliance on exclusionary discipline to one of prevention and proactive attention to addressing the behavioral ne eds of children with disabilities. The session included resources to support States in their effort to address the needs of students with disabilities and avoid the disparities in the use of discipline.

questions from the field on HSBP for WA-AIM programs:

# data[].attributes.body
Our teachers are confused with the HSBP

the HSBP as it seems geared toward gen ed students.

Right now, teachers are filling them out as they can. Similar to the transition planning, but trying to get counselor help with the courses/credits.

It seems as if everyone is scrambling to complete these.  I know for our life skills students, the teachers are using the state HSBP template instead of using any of the 4 year planner or Career Planner apps.  Then the teachers are filling it out on the student’s behalf.

I  have not seen anything or heard of anything about this since before COVID

It seems the school wide lessons, activities, WOIS, etc are not accessible for our WA-AIM students. Is is allowable to use a replacement activity that gets to the same target?

Is there an Alternate HSBP like the Alternate Assessments for WIDA and WA-AIM

It is grade based so   doing it as a class activity and we have students grades 9-12  its awkward to do just do a 9th grade activites with  a multi age class.  DO they have to be done in the same order or?

.  We are struggling with finding options for our severe profound student's pathways.

What departments, divisions, and/or content area partners would you like us to invite to office hours?

Per WAC 180-51-115, in limited circumstances, IEP teams can make decisions on comparable content course substitutions based on individualized student needs.

Per WAC 180-51-115, in limited circumstances, IEP teams can make decisions on comparable content course substitutions based on individualized student needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Guidance to understand this language is found in Special Education February 2020 Monthly Update.

Since all students have access to CTE course equivalencies and a variety of courses to satisfy the credit (aligned to the learning standards of that content area), this in "limited circumstances" language is really about the IEP team’s decision to change the performance expectation of the course, where instructors can reduce the breadth, depth, and/or complexity of performance of the standard, not whether the student has access to the content.

Question for participants: What supports do leaders and general education partners need to collaborate in this decision making process?

# data[].attributes.body
Directors expressed interest in some topical or ad hoc workgroups to come together around problems of practice. We have had suggestions around implementing inclusionary practices, funding and staffing innovations, and bargaining.

What possible topic areas would you be interested in discussing?

Question: What are some ideas of how to maintain the "direct" supervision component and the ability to push in and co-teach as a certificated staff? Do IPP pilot districts have ideas?
